Publisher's Summary:
The best-selling author of Big Data is back, this time with a unique and in-depth insight into how specific companies use big data.
Big data is on the tip of everyone's tongue. Everyone understands its power and importance, but many fail to grasp the actionable steps and resources required to utilise it effectively. This book fills the knowledge gap by showing how major companies are using big data every day, from an up-close, on-the-ground perspective.
From technology, media, and retail to sport teams, government agencies, and financial institutions, learn the actual strategies and processes being used to learn about customers, improve manufacturing, spur innovation, improve safety, and so much more.
For each company profiled, learn what data was used, what problem it solved, and the processes put it place to make it practical as well as the technical details, challenges, and lessons learned from each unique scenario.
Members Reviews:
Good book for managers
Bernard Marr is very knowledgeable and has a solid background in the subject. This is a good book for managers who want to learn more about why they should use big data. It is not useful for the aspiring data scientist who wants to learn more tactical level practices.
basic overviews not details
gives a lot of examples, yet very little hard details that you could run with in real life.
The narration is horrible
The main British accent changes into Southern and other accents as the voice narrator takes too much attention away from this very informative book. Had they picked a real professional narrator, I'd have ranked it higher
Lacking in detail, very general.
More of a collection of general points than a serious book to be read and studied.
The most dissapointing read ever!
If anyone benefited from spending time with this production it would have to be total beginner who has no clue about what Big Data means. Even then there is probably number of better positions explaining subject and saving a reader from cliches. In fact I call it a book of cliche! Never seen so many in one place; author also likes word "huge" and use it everywhere replacing need for quantifiable data. Surely, specific details are not what the writer is bothered with here. Huge for all and we done ;). BTW. Facebook came up with some of most powerful/known Big Data platforms and arguably is the biggest R&D player in the area; not mere user. I expected that the author of the book would know/mention that. Summing up, book seems like written by marketing people for marketing audience; little substance and a lot of big meaningless words.
